Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother mean advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-less brother Travis McElroy. Bienvenidos, I'm your littlest brother baby brother Griffin McElroy. Limp. Limpos. Here's looking at you Limpos. It's the talented Mr. Olimpets.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Give me those five rings, I'm gonna put them all my fingers and show off my beautiful rings to my friends Olimpos. Just like Sonic the Hedgehog, we're after them rings. That's right Americans and Chinese and other people are all on the hunt for those five rings. All of them. Americans, Chinese, France, and the other ones. Five rings of various colors have been hidden throughout Rio de Janeiro and these proud Olympians must work together to follow the clues to find all the five rings. One of them you only find through geocaching. One of them you got to solve the mummy's tomb I think. Just looking at the lineup of people looks like both big Australia and little Australia made it out to this one. Welcome to the Limpos boys.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I'm so excited to be here. I'm so happy. Now this is why we sports. This is it. This year there is a team and I thought that this was very profound. There is a team comprised entirely of people who thought Batman vs Superman was not too bad. And it's strange that they have like a flag and everything. They're in the U.N. And they're our strongest NATO ally. Yep. Do you want to say just 18 hours after this year's Limpos began, I am very proud to announce that West Virginia won the state's first gold for this. Not just any West Virginia. Not just any West Virginia and not just any sport. What sport did West Virginia roll up and
Starting point is 00:02:28 question and you guessed it shooting things. We took the golden gun and her name is Virginia Thrasher which is so fucking choice and money and good. Yeah. She actually goes by Jenny Thrasher. How fucking cool is that? Thank you to Jenny Thrasher for the inspiration and this episode is dedicated to you. And it inspired me watching Jenny Thrasher get up there and just gun like and gun so tight. I decided I'm going to take part in the 2020 Olympos. Oh man me too. Griffin I've actually been training already. What are you training in? I'm training in swimming mostly the butterfly. I've been training with Michael Fred Phelps who is Michael Phelps dad and who unfortunately shares
Starting point is 00:03:17 a name with Fred Phelps. Yeah that's too bad. So you swim and he's like you could have done that a little bit faster. Also I don't think that bisexual people should be able to vote. Yeah. Fred Phelps why? Why? If you swim better God will kill people because he's ashamed of you. Oh okay. I decided that I think I'm going to do leg wrestling and I'm really excited to get there. No one's quite sure where the 2020 Olympics are going to be. A lot of people said and I say that and I'm looking at our producer now and the producer's letting me know just sort of emphatically that a whole sort of panel got together and decided it would be in Tokyo. No they say that by the last minute they're going to send out like Wonka-esque tickets to let you know where to go
Starting point is 00:04:06 because they just don't want it swamped by like spectators and visitors. They just want to keep it pure for the sport. Now it is going to be in Tokyo apparently I'm getting they're just really emphatic it's in Tokyo and I would love to show everybody how I leg wrestle in the Japanese style. I'm looking forward to that. Yeah I thought you're going to demonstrate it here on the call somehow. I just didn't we're not we're not even close to each other but my leg is in the air right now and I'm flailing it. Justin what sport? No odd job golden eye. Oh I've been pushing for a long time and finally we got it in. They've had golden eye for a long time but I think me and a lot of the other e-athletes or e-athletes as we prefer or athletes. Yeah athletes prefer like we thought
Starting point is 00:04:52 it was unfair that whatever country got the first controller just like quickest on the draw got to be odd job and we just didn't think odd job should be in so we we protested and eventually we got now the Olympics have um no odd job golden eye odd job golden eye and all slappers go oh is it all licensed to kill yeah that's a good question yeah obviously they don't want these matches to drone on for hours on in but I'm really happy to represent my country and not choose odd job. You know I have a secret strategy though that I've been working on I wanted to share with you guys tell me now come in real close because I don't want the riskys to hear uh-huh I'm gonna choose odd job. Well now hold on. I've just changed my mind leg wrestling is out the window because it seems like
Starting point is 00:05:39 it'd be very difficult and very taxing and I I'm looking at the list now and there's a lot of exciting new opportunities and I think I'm gonna go with beach curling oh okay oh that's fun it's a new curling it takes place on the beach and the course is much shorter I I've actually switched mine now too I'm gonna switch my major and I'm gonna I'm gonna start studying for slowest runner and it's the last person across the finish line loses these races can take months they take a while yeah how long time the last person like missed their family really because that's how most people are just like I want to go I would love to go home I'm actually gonna be doing metal detecting this year uh I've been changing it up again yeah it's nice the really nice thing about is you can walk

Starting point is 00:11:50 be sweet that'll be dope uh so let's get into the advice I'm ready if you're ready yes let's do it my friend's dog is extremely unsettling it disturbs me greatly every time I visit he has a very human eyes you can see the whites that don't look like a dog at all and don't reflect in the light when I go to the bathroom at night he's just sitting there waiting for me in the hallway and he will sit on the couch like a man and watch the tv he was found in the precious uh oh sorry not precious the precious oh precious owner knows he was found in the previous owner told my friend to keep him thus passing on the curse to top it all off he has a human man name everyone loves my friend tells him his dog's a human man in a dog's body but he says he's quote trying his best
Starting point is 00:12:38 please help that's from spooky snacks in south philly p.s it sounds like I embellished this or even made it up for the goof but please understand I'm living in constant fear okay point of order you can't tell us that the dog has a human name and not give us the dog's name please what's the dog's name Burt let's go with Burt Burt is a dog's name though that a human used once and thought it was funny um uh Jason how about Ethan okay Ethan is excellent yeah no dog has ever been named Ethan or Aiden can you imagine a dog named come here Aiden Roberto Benini Ethan is good so yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of elements of play here but I think I pieced all the elements together in a beautiful uh puzzle and have you seen the trailers for this movie nine lives
Starting point is 00:13:33 yes with Jennifer Garner and Kevin Spacey as a cat and I think that um somebody casts like a wizardly spell on them to turn him into a cat and I think the wizard was oh it's the guy with the voice that's um everybody just looks it's Christopher Walken it's Christopher Walken who I guess only appears in movies to teach dad's lessons with magic click I refuse to believe this is not a spiritual successor to click like it has to be right it's called meow um so in meow Kevin Spacey plays a cat and I think he just loved it so much and after they finished shooting they're like thanks Kevin this movie's gonna suck ass and it's we're good but we're gonna make so much of that dumb kid money and he's like I know I love it hey let me ask you a question Claire um
Starting point is 00:14:23 could is there a real magic man that can turn me into some sort of bedeviled animal and they said geez Kevin with that accent constantly um yeah I think we can hook you up with somebody Bing bang boom long story short we got a dog Kevin Spacey on our hands true story though what is wrong with you Kevin yeah Kevin do you have a second you went from house of cards to Elvis and Nixon to nine lives you're spinning out of control you are in American beauty you you're latest film that is currently in post production in due out 2017 I know nothing about it but it's literally called baby driver does the man who made kpaks have something on you that's blackmailing you into these movies who is he's got Kevin maybe kpaks was a true story he's
Starting point is 00:15:17 got a fucking alien brain up there and capable of making good decisions it's can't be the money right I'm just worried that maybe we're dealing with a Dave situation where Kevin Spacey is laying like in a sick bed somewhere and they hired an actor who looked like Kevin Spacey to play Kevin Spacey oh I thought you meant meet Dave and you were talking about the similar decline that Eddie Murphy did when he threw himself down a well that had a sign in front of it that said the Pluto Nash hole no no not his Nash hole I mean like uh the movie Dave where maybe Kevin Klein is pretending to be Kevin Spacey that's fun that's just good fun you're Kevin Spacey okay yeah okay wait give me a minute okay I'm there someone slides across a piece of paper to your from your
Starting point is 00:16:08 agent to you your agent slides a piece of paper to you it reads a stuffy businessman finds himself trapped inside the body of his family's cat that's the log line where does the cat go does the cat control Kevin Spacey what on earth did they tell Kevin Spacey to get him to agree to appear in this motion picture yeah and we will give you a lot of money hey hey Kevin it's got hey you know Aero his brother's in it what I remember the first time I saw the trailer for nine lives starring Kevin Spacey um I saw how bad it looked and I actually reached my hand into the screen like in persona and my I was able to get like my whole torso and head inside of the trailer and I grabbed Jennifer Garner's hands and she was like pull me out you can save me and I tried but my hands were too
Starting point is 00:17:01 slippery and greasy and I let her go and she fell back into the movie but I almost I almost got her out the first time I saw the preview for nine lives I said out loud to Teresa I look forward to hearing the flop house episode about that movie they already did it it was called a talking cat anyway you said that wrong Griffin a talking cat thank you um how about we just spent seven minutes just kind of doing fun riffs on nine lives um and I think just be cool it's a dog and feed it some snacks and maybe don't do anything too embarrassing around it's that when it turns back into a humor it's not like oh I'm so happy to be human also Derek like gets his balls out everywhere yeah um also you can set Kevin Spacey free I haven't seen nine lives but it definitely ends with them if they can
Starting point is 00:17:48 say their dad's name at the cat then they transform back so you just got to figure out kind of what actor that makes bad choices is the dog and just just yell a bunch of names Adam I mean start with Kevin Spacey for god's sakes do you guys want a yahoo answer from the service no I just feel like I don't know if we help them or not oh cool we're them we're on par uh this one is sent in by Joel Azosay thank you Joel it's by yahoo answers user anonymous column chargo yep chargo asks what's a cool catchphrase to say before you throw up I've always wanted to say something cool before I vomit from jinking too much any suggestions uh before not after yeah no it's got to be well I could I let's I think let's free ourselves up let's give ourselves a little bit more comedy
Starting point is 00:18:51 rope and say it could be either one but I think it's funny if you say it before too almost announce it mm-hmm and you know because everybody says something embarrassed when they throw up everybody has a post throughout catchphrase already uh what if you like just before you throw up you yell like I have something to add or I'd like to interject something and then you throw up that could be fun it's especially good if you're getting really drunk at like an art exhibit or some kind of like poetry jam somewhere where people are having very like elitist conversations and you can walk them like that's a very interesting point about Chaucer I have something to add um I think that's a very interesting point about Chaucer I have
Starting point is 00:19:32 something to add it's a really good catchphrase yeah it's maybe a little bit wordy you're gonna rush through it like you know it's coming like oh that's very funny I'm sorry definitely the longer build-up you could have before the better I think you should kind of give it like a barred-esque openings or like uh excuse me if I could ask everyone to attend the tail noble ladies gather around and I shall delight your blah see that's the thing you don't know ting ting ting ting ting ting I'm sorry if I could have everyone's attention you'll probably wondering why I've called you all here today you have no idea how long it's gonna take that's the thing about Yardsons you never know how long it's gonna take right so the inverse it could also be
Starting point is 00:20:15 like hmm I also have something interesting to add about Chaucer like what are you doing shush I think it's very embarrassing to do it it's so embarrassing yeah basically it's basically like like a bathroom thing and I would never do that in front of a person so I think the best thing to do is kind of couch it and just be like what I'm about to do is gonna be a prank and so people like what the f**king be like right to you do you think after you pierced you could look everybody dead in the eye just be like just kidding oh just before you vermit you scream check out these special effects
Starting point is 00:20:59 yeah and then you do it and then while you're crying because I cry every single time I throw up I just look up everybody and I go that was fake oh that could be fun what if your catchphrase is something like don't eat the dip and then you threw up yeah that was but what if you made the dip oh no well oh you make the dip every time and then you don't eat the dip because then that also plans into everyone's minds who have had the dip like oh no and so they all feel like they're like living on on borrowed time but then when they don't vomit they're so relieved that they find a new lease on life maybe you could go with something like I was really close to my grandpa I used to
Starting point is 00:21:43 spend a lot of summers in his cabin and I'll never forget his final words to me they were because if you did it enough times people would eventually be like I wonder if that's you guys think this will happen that could have might happen he's told that story a lot what if we're being a little not these are all just very good but none of them are really catchphrases that's true a catchphrase is essentially a it establishes a Pavlovian response we have to have something so concise and mimetic that when you say it people know what's gonna happen next so maybe just something like in a baby voice just like oh and if you'd say it just like that at a party people like oh damn where's Jerry
Starting point is 00:22:29 get him outside what what about something a little bit more t-shirt like bada bing bada boom give me some room right a still very you're gonna uh oh you can hot yards in the middle of because the word itself sounds like a yards that could you be like bada bing bada boop what if he does yell Omar coming Omar coming could be fun but it's taken and used wow not like this um 80s kids will love this one uh maybe right before you puke you say first find the orange flag it's a freak cashier keyboard and then just peek everywhere kind of give them or maybe just if you want to get some but just physical challenge then puke everywhere yeah because it is a physical challenge it is a physical challenge this hurts me more than hurts you whatever it is you have
Starting point is 00:23:15 like hold my arms back because it's confusing because most of the time you would say hair and it would leave people wondering what you usually do with your arms when you vomit sometimes my arms and back that would be a good one that piki likes gonna come back in a style then just puke on everybody and then after you puke you just look at them go damn fun and and that's fun that's fun kind of cultural that's the thing that people don't do the after nobody ever so I don't think people celebrate the natural human bodily function of vermin enough yeah and I think that you could just like turn around like what was that am I right like like just turn around like 10 out of 10 could you lean
Starting point is 00:23:57 into what was that as though it's never happened before like you really didn't know that that was one of the holes where that thing happened what it could that have been oh that's good because you can get the build up and the after of like what what is what is this feeling it would be amazing if it could be a payoff like in every conversation you're in the party before you find a way to work it around to the fact that you don't think vomiting exists and then when you do it's like oh my god my eyes have been opened this is a stomach chuck was claiming he vomited earlier that guy what is he a tech savory cartoon come on here's what I thank you do because if you if it's something that's happening you because you party a little bit too hard and I get I get very nauseous when I
Starting point is 00:24:40 drink uh I know it's like I think if you know you're about to go somewhere where you're about to really party arty then you tuck a small key in between your gums and your cheek and you put a little handcuff key in there and then when you yards you let the key come out of the mouth and you get it and you hold it up and you say oh thank god I've got to go and you run out of the house oh that's good what they don't know is you've eaten a bunch of handkerchiefs earlier you call it you just start pulling them out and then say to da you pick you fish yourself out of your pocket and you say you pull at your ear you go Susan I found it I'm on my way and or you throw up an engagement ring and then immediately get down on one knee to be ever your next just whoever
Starting point is 00:25:29 uh because they're gonna say no because you're a big vomit boy but at least it looks like you staged an elaborate proposal and then you got shut down so now you're gonna get a little bit pity not for the vomiting but probably also for the vomiting okay so so you don't propose maybe just get the ring and just like oh this is embarrassing okay this was not supposed to go like this I had a whole uh uh Bruno Mars song queued up and everything okay this is embarrassing recently my girlfriend was asked by her best friend to be her maid of honor at her upcoming wedding she asked her by presenting my girlfriend with a bottle of wine that had a customized label putting on it that said will you be my maid of honor my girlfriend of course said yes and life
Starting point is 00:26:10 is good however my question is should we drink the wine or are we supposed to leave the wine inside as some sort of artifact to commemorate this special occasion would it be even more rude not to drink it and that's from not drunk enough yet in New Jersey uh my in-laws threw me a and some of Rachel's friends from st. Louis who went to visit on they threw us a surprise baby shower and somebody brought a little it's a boy um lolies and I was like fuck yeah I took one unwrapped it popped right in my gob didn't even think twice didn't even think twice about how this would be a treasured little artifact I just like oh cool it's a blow pop considering you're a co-host of podcasts with a man who uh at the age of 12 ate his own it's a boy scar from his birth
Starting point is 00:27:00 oh yeah from his birth and I think you're in fine company here it's a genetic trait of I guess just to define that trait we're shitheads just shitheads we love gum judging from your uh tone and your the your username it sounds like we're really talking about time frame here it does not sound it's it's gonna happen right like they're really cracking open and the problem is the long view way the guiltier you feel if you did it like the day you got like oh that's nice pop like okay but now you're building up momentum of not having opened it yet so the moment when you open it will have to be this like this is the moment like here now and also the longer you let it sit in there the better it tastes well I'm okay I'm gonna bet that a lot of work lit went into the custom
Starting point is 00:27:45 sweet awesome label I doubt very much that they slapped that custom label on like a $300 bottle of wine yeah it seems to me that if you get someone a bottle of wine that deserves to be celebrated you probably don't cover up the label I've uh won quite a few murder mysteries uh at Ravenswood Castle with the uh the shadow stalkers group out there and when they uh commemorate the the victory they give you a bottle of wine I have several of these and every time they give it to you they say now don't drink this wine because it's terrible it's like oh that's good that's good it's technically cooking wine it's basically yeah do you like vinegar um I think I think you do I do think you drink it though yeah I think you gotta save the bottle maybe you could
Starting point is 00:28:36 turn into like a vase or put some like colored sand that's a good question though Trav because like you are opening up yourself up to a second question of like what do I do with this empty bottle with a label on it there's so many art projects you could do yeah man you make old sand art you you could turn into like a fun puppet or something you could turn into action figure for the kids just put a little ping pong ball on the top and you draw a cool face on it and you just like tape a gun onto it or something like that it's like an army man if you're gonna keep it as a souvenir regardless I think you what you gotta ask yourself is what looks nicer like a full bottle of wine or an empty bottle of wine I think you could probably sleep a bit easier
Starting point is 00:29:14 knowing that you have a full bottle of wine in the house at all times like don't tuck into your emergency bottle yeah exactly it's better to know it's there and you don't have to use it well and also unless they're into like glass blowing they didn't make the bottle like the the label is what matters and you could like steam that shit off there yes steam it off and make a little brooch out of it or slap that in like a like a wedding scrapbook like slapping a scrapbook make it out and make it into a necklace or something do something fun with it put it on something you're never gonna finish like a bottle of vegetable though yes same one in my cupboard for like five years never been tempted to drink it not even once I got an old bottle of vinaigrette I could put that
Starting point is 00:29:57 shit on you know what I mean no problem um why didn't they just give you a big old can big old can of vinegar you just say why would you do this to me why would you tempt me with you know this is my favorite fluid is wine why wouldn't you put it on a big box of baking soda I just stick it in my fridge for the rest of my life why wouldn't you just etch it into like a tombstone if you wanted to forever here's a tombstone will you be my bridesmaid thank you this is not a threat that's all etched on this this will you be my this is a tombstone will you be my bridesmaid this is not a threat I love you so much I love you there are people living in untouched like rainforest villages that have not seen the slightest glimmer of what we consider to be modern civilization
Starting point is 00:30:53 in their entire history who I think I would have more in common with than a person who would take the time to create a beautiful gift to ask someone to be their native honor I I just want to take my hat off because I don't know where you're finding the hours in the day I would like a few of them but that's that's a very thoughtful friend right there I cannot fathom it how would you do it Justin I just fucking ask if I remember to ask like if they show up and like oh fuck uh you uh will you be my midwater that will you're in charge now you're in charge now I can't do this no more I when I did it I created a fancy label for different products that I knew the recipient would be so tempted by that they would have to tuck into them um so Justin what did I send you
Starting point is 00:31:48 I think it was a bag I think it was like an unopened bag of taste stations yeah an unopened vintage bag of taste stations I bought on ebay and I had sealed it with the label that said uh you're my you're my brother and I love you and will you please be involved in this special day please don't tear the label up to get to the taste station so then and then I knew on my wedding day I made you show me the bag and it was you were like what bag what bag I ate the bag you sent me a can of pizza delicious Pringles that you had actually just masking taped the lid down but had written on the masking tape will you be in my wedding party don't break this seal don't hope don't pop don't stop do stop don't pop and that's why I didn't show up at your wedding
Starting point is 00:32:30 it's exactly right I felt so guilty because I popped and I didn't stop Travis didn't show up because he didn't even realize it was an invitation that's how quickly he ripped into those bad boys I just sent it like a cartoon character I put the whole can on my mouth and then pulled an empty can back out for Evan I just um put the label over the um over an Algero CD all of you failed me a rare one um should we go to the money zone we're already there look around oh way we go my brother my brother me is supported in part by Casper an online retailer of premium obsessively engineered mattresses uh for a fraction of the price that you're going to pay in a in a store
Starting point is 00:33:21 Travis you sleep on a Casper how's it going it's going so because Casper sent us an email like who wants to try out a Casper and Charles is like me I do I wanted a bed I'm actually eyeballing it right now waiting for the time when this stupid show is done so I could take a nap and it's going to be so good like listen it's good for night sleeping but it's so good for day sleeping it's the best nap dress I've ever had um what's so good about it it's it's great it's like a cloud um you know I I've slept on mattresses before that had like really uncomfortable springs in it and you know just couldn't seem to find a balance between like too soft and too firm and it just all in all like every mattress seemed like it was just trying too hard to win my favor

Starting point is 00:36:49 i'm that's sweet i'm sorry that chris was not immediately floored by our antics but i'm glad that our viral marketing wormed its way into his brain yeah those flavor biases is no joke how do they get so many flavors and so much of them on it it's i can't tell i think it goes a little something like this i have another message here this one's for airbear and it's from megalit who says oh oh they want us to sing you can do this okay it's a hamilton thing i know my sister like i know my own mind you will never find bigger my bambam fans and she and i that was really good that was good can you do the whole thing or if i tell her that i love him she'd be decidedly resigned he no i meant the whole jumbo trauma the whole jumbo trauma dummy
Starting point is 00:37:37 oh i thought you meant the rest of the song i could do that that was straight off the dome by the way that was really not even look at the lyrics page i said oh erin you're as beautiful and wise as cj craig she would death be friends with you i rl as would linman walmer and happy his birthday for your baby sister may your zone be full of adventure in your 30th year i we'd never receive that much direction that's a lot i felt i felt a little him dan i wasn't able to do my free form you know my my comedy a lot of handle yeah a lot of handling going on a lot of handling a lot of a lot of navigation man handling i'd say a dan handling a lot of flan handling is this what we're doing i'm a leg reingo and i'm rene colbert and we host a podcast called can i pet your dog rene can i

Starting point is 00:39:12 ladder or riding high i think zoe kinsky's riding high at this point um it's by yahoo answers user gator who asks is america she's a republican or a democrat no no additional information uh eloquented or required or desired well let's look at his policies i think that'll give us a clear indication he's four flavor loves it loves the shit but he's anti same-sex marriage okay okay so no i think that's i think no i think he's definitely four flavor i think just like i don't think he's anti same-sex marriage right because they're all fry guys right what it really comes down to is is he pro grimace and bird person marriage yeah that's the new frontier he loves flavor let's just really focus on that he's very pro flavor
Starting point is 00:40:08 we can all his head is a his head is a hand like let's not be let's not make fun here his head's a fucking hamburger and we know that right i think he's got to be he's got to be tough on crime right because i think if the hamburger ever tried to steal his head which would kill him like that's a crime he doesn't want to happen so he's got to be tough on crime he's he's a living hamburger man who resigned over a world based around the selling and consuming of hamburgers well i do want to get in here travis and just correct you very quickly and that he's not necessarily a hamburger man but his head is a hamburger he definitely has a thing about a hamburger like yeah half hamburger half man he's a man burger but this man burger is selling baby burgers
Starting point is 00:40:52 to the public to consume um so is a man burger that means that a guy fucked a burger and i'm gonna go ahead and put um wimpy on blast here from pop i definitely is is is um mayor mccheese's dad i'm just saying that with his like cannibalistic like lifestyle i feel like we can i don't think he eats burgers does but he but he like he wants those babies to be eaten i feel like we can launch a very successful campaign against mayor mccheese if we wanted like a coup to replace mayor mccheese as the like mayor of hamburger town or whatever it's called mcdonald land uh speaking of mcdonald land i wanted to take a quick break to look at the wikipedia page for mcdonald lamb i want to tell you guys about the wacky adventure from ron mcdonald this is a videotape series released from
Starting point is 00:41:46 1998 to 2001 by rugrats creators uh claskey supo i know i remember these tapes uh the series depicted ronald grimace birdie the hamburger and here's where we start to lose the plot a little bit a few new characters like ronald's pessimistic dog sunday well hold on wait what why would you how could you how could you live okay you're a puppy named sunday who lives in a place called mcdonald land and you're pessimistic how dare you ronald even real living dogs in the earth realm not in the dark realm where mc where hamburger lamb takes upside down not in the upside down fucking real dogs are not pessimistic unless they used to be kevin spacey and they got transformed by magic and are having a hard time finding their way pessimistic is not a characteristic i've ever
Starting point is 00:42:36 heard attributed to a dog yeah my dog's one is real real uh uh feeding dish half empty types of these videos would begin in live action in what resembled a futuristic mcdonald land then the characters would enter a tube or other means of travel they would become animated hey claskey supo i think you might be trying a little bit too hard seems like maybe the pre production phase went on a little bit too long for this series maybe you should just like chill out a little bit how much premise do you need for your animated series about mcdonald's premise do you need i'm afraid your people already bought into the mcdonald's brand enough that you didn't have to say like hey you guys let's really sell them on this cartoon
Starting point is 00:43:21 just realize i haven't been mcdonald land commercial since 2004 isn't that weird doesn't seem like they're still around now dog i want to be the first to be updated this article because the last section covers the last 11 years of history and it says that they've been phased out but um the mcdonald land characters continue to appear in mcdonald's play areas decorative seats for children's birthday parties and bibs the only role mcdonald birdie grimace and hamburglar appear in them they also appeared in some soft drink cups until 2008 they do however still appear as cookies in pouches respectively tiled mcdonald land cookies as of today they're still burning through the same mcdonald land cookies that they made in 2002 guaranteed absolutely as of today the
Starting point is 00:44:03 characters appear on the windows of some mcdonald's restaurants mcdonald modern commercials nowadays usually depict ron mcdonald alone in real-world situations so lonely so all alone so alone so cold exiled for his land whether he visits a local restaurant or goes to visit sick children at ron mcdonald house so like i want to be the person who's like oh whoa whoa whoa park park park pull over pull over check that window uh that's a grimace i'm putting this on wikipedia yeah we found him we found him that's another spotting is mayor mccheese is his first name mayor does he actually have the title of mayor i mean but i'm looking i've been doing some deep white googling and character description mayor mcdonald land the cheesiest burger in town is that how we
Starting point is 00:44:50 got elected was there no like proper vote there's like who's the cheesiest burger is this edwin sounding motherfucker going the same wiki that justin and i are now the only two active users on the whole internet um he's portrayed as a giggly bumbling and somewhat incompetent mayor well based on hr puffin stuff the character was dropped during streamlining of characters in the mid-80s he died he did die i guess he died i guess he did die i have a hard time picking out his affiliation here but i feel like libertarian that would be my yeah that would be my thinking it uh oh i'm actually looking here it says bull moose party i'm i'm basing that on almost nothing but i imagine like people would come to him and be like mayor mccheese what are the laws it's fucking chaos out
Starting point is 00:45:32 here nobody's telling anybody what to do and he's like yep exactly and he like picks off one of his own sesame seeds and eats it no gods no kings only food no says the manningburger king does the sweat of my pickle belong to the to the bourgeoisie it's the grease of my own bun on it no says Dave thomas no says john silver no says the man behind captain d's whose name i don't know probably starts with a d probably starts with a d he's probably a captain it seems your cup of sprite has gone empty you can refill it at the fountain head welcome to my play place stupid um this is a dumb fucking podcast it's a dumb podcast
Starting point is 00:46:33 hey brothers i have a query which i could use a little help with my boyfriend and i've been going out for almost a year now and are talking about moving in together one problem he lives out of his car which has been cool which is i just think what his head sounds like because if you think about it he's had a one hamburger anyway it's gotta be bad oh you're talking about the mayor mccheese one problem okay let me not this man who lives in i thought you were saying this person who lives in his car no mayor mccheese's head it's gotta be rough by now i've been dating mayor mccheese for about a year now well he lives out of his car he has to have much work lately hey brothers i have a query which i could use a little help with my boyfriend and i've been going
Starting point is 00:47:12 on for almost a year now and are talking about moving in together one problem he lives out of his car which has been cool i have my own place too but the closer my lease is to ending the more i notice when we talk about living together the conversation sometimes ends up being about which van would be easiest for two people to live in while i'm all for reducing my environmental impact i was kind of hoping what it's a van sorry go ahead but it is a van it is a van my house is cool because it doesn't consume gasoline to go uh i was kind of hoping to live somewhere with a toilet so how do i tell him we're not living in a car without squashing his sense of freedom that's from cramped in california i don't okay so this is going to be a real tough one because i
Starting point is 00:47:53 don't want to yeah i don't want to harsh anybody's mellow i don't want if this is his lifestyle and he's like into it i don't get it personally but but they're okay but there's there's there's some room here to discuss because the thing is is like compromise and like a little bit of giving 60 40 as jason has talked about before is very important here because i feel like there is a there is a middle ground between living in a car and living in like a three bedroom two bathroom like you know what that ground you know what that ground is called it's tiny house tiny home movement i'm saying you could do tiny house that has a bathroom has a toilet has a tiny kitchen like feels like a tiny it's not for me god knows but like this might work or like a studio apartment
Starting point is 00:48:40 even where it's like oh no even better even better it's new hg tv show because of course there's an hg tv show about literally any kind of container in which you can store yourself and your things in your loved ones and there's one about houses that are also boats and i think it's called boat home yeah you could be on boat home you could be on boat home in a boat home dude boat home alabama what if you tell me when you're a tiny home and decides to be a smart ass and you just come up one day and he's just taking the wheels off like they're mission accomplished we live in a tiny home no because there are certain things that make a home and it's love out of after me and my significant other we uh we celebrate the big car movement it's better than a small car to live in
Starting point is 00:49:25 but jesus not much boat home boat home how great would it be to be in a boat home you're just like in the docks in baltimore you're just like i'm done with baltimore unhook bye well there's the other side of that where you wake up in the morning like oh shit we forgot to tie off i miss baltimore hey guys family family meeting on the poop deck we don't live in baltimore anymore meptune has decided for us that's really good because if you need a toilet it's right there it's called the ocean it's called the ocean you just pop that pop open the hole in the bottom of the boat oh no our belongings why do birds have toilets yeah think about it yeah i know it's a it's our pride man what would you if you guys could have a boat home okay what would it what would it be because i wouldn't want to
Starting point is 00:50:14 yacht home are you kidding me oh well no that's too you let's set a reasonable budget oh okay well you didn't 150 i wouldn't want to live on a super massive uh boat that's 100 miles long no travel okay if i can't do pirate boat home no i would like to do i'd like to go the other way then and do you feel like big river tom soyer just like um we just a little raft home oh no roof just right just me just out there with my friend jim just looking up it's just looking up at the stars and probably really hungry because we don't have a refrigerator anyway no toilet or anything yeah could i just do could i just get an rv and attach some really good balloons to it and just float that shit like lazy up yeah just float that rb up to open ocean up to with fewer balloons
Starting point is 00:51:12 because the first one stressed me out i remember watching up one just going like oh god that's a lot of balloons are there gonna be that many the whole time shit wait was the sheer number of balloons bother did you see do you remember watching up and like when the house first opens up and you're like oh he's gonna float the house on some balloons but then there's like a million fucking balloons and you're just like oh man that's way too many balloons to even look at i don't know what you mean did you see the fucking movie yeah yeah a lot of people stopped watching it after that very sad intro that you had to pay your tears tax for but then you get so a lot of people quit and they don't even know how many fucking balloons there were that popped out of
Starting point is 00:51:57 that house but there were so many and i just i looked at them and i tried to count all of them and i was like this is a fool's errand because there were too many so many balloons it just got me so anxious you know what i'm talking about right yeah balloons would start popping during that movie and like would fall out off the house and i'd be like oh thank god more balloons that i don't have to worry about but when they had the maximum number of balloons right there at like sort of like 25 minutes into the movie i was like fuck that's way too many way too many balloons i don't want to live on a historic boat that okay we get some people coming by to like check it out because i what about a what about a ferry that's in operation so every day you just have thousands
Starting point is 00:52:44 of visitors welcome to my welcome to my ferry would you like to play a video game with me oh that's nice we're gonna play like some yuker you know just like it's so nice to have visitors please take your shoes off on the ferry i would like to live on some kind of boat that no one believes that a human being should be living on like what drab i don't know like maybe like one of those submarines that they use in planet earth to go down and look at like the stuff way way down there and it's just big enough for like one and a half people and it's got tiny portals or like for that to be my it's like a tiny boat home movement it's what i'm going for should we're getting away for the point should this person live in their significant other's car no who's fan are they
Starting point is 00:53:26 gonna live in um i mean i really think tiny home's the way to go here i've i watched them and i just think like that would be so great i mean it's not ideal for me i don't know that i could stand it but like well it's because you rip those cheesy blasters all the time dog you blow the doors off the motherfucker now it's mostly that i would just be constantly like harry and the hindersons like turning around and knocking stuff off of everything all the time i do that now and i live in like a full-sized home i can't imagine how much chaos i would wreak upon a tiny home but it would not be good i would be like alice and alice in wonderland growing through with my arms and legs and head poking out the sides and yeah i love it and then you get your tummy cut open your cake the whole
Starting point is 00:54:09 time exactly just i don't like the tiny homes where they've built an extensive outdoor area it's like hi can you go home get it you're cheating can you not that's my home that's part of my city home which is all outdoors we have to share that you can't claim it i would like to have a tiny home that lives in the yard of my full-sized home and it's just like my retreat home just for me when i want to feel like a giant just the exact replica of your current home exactly the same but like much smaller uh what else would you have in your very tiny home jobs tiny tables tiny chairs tiny utensils but they're all tiny to different scales yeah the table is like for a mouse but but the chair is like for a dog and it's like well this is just come on i don't want it to make
Starting point is 00:54:58 sense i want it to be like a tiny fun house you know what i mean and maybe one of the floors slanted and it gets to feel like i'm in like a tiny mystery house that's fun why aren't there tiny mystery houses why aren't there more why okay why don't i have a house with a secret passage in it why don't any houses have secret passages well yeah oh you know it'd be great a secret passage between your regular sized house and your tiny house so that when guests like fall asleep you're just pushing through the secret passage and they wake up in the tiny house and they're like what happened that's good i have a great fucking idea okay you have to call you have to call the boyfriend's bluff okay by saying oh you want to live in a bigger vehicle i was thinking we would simplify
